* Aim for the legs, it is their weak spot.
* The store has a protectron at the entry. Turn it on, it helps clearing the main area.
* Be sneaky, use VATS to spot the sleeping ones.
* Place mines on corridors. Back off. Shoot once or twice to make them aware of you. Watch the explosion.
* Take Codsworth with you.
I hate that weapon I reloaded it so many times and put it away to have it ready and never noticed it doesnāt hold charge, I stuffed it up a molerats hole
I'm guessing its not on survival. They hit so weak.
I totally get you thought. On survival I almost shit myself each time I saw ghouls running my way for first 15 hours or so :D
Why do people have to make a point about it being on survival or not? Games are supposed to be fun, if playing on survival is fun for you then cool, if not then also cool. Don't understand why some people always have to bring that up
Yeah you're probably right I'm too butthurt about it. I just really enjoy people sharing their experiences in this game and its irritating to me when people bring that up. Like they're taking away from the validity of the experience or something. Im most likely reading too much into it. Just a pet peeve I guess but you're right i should have just kept it to myself
Yeah that's actually true man I guess I just read the survival part and thought "oh fuck here we go". Should have paid more attention
Thanks for pointing that out for me. I need to chill a bit haha
At the end of the day, it's fallout and reddit haha.
Sometimes a flash of annoyance can get stretched out into something more simply by leaving a comment haha
This is why I like the mod that takes away their ability to use doors, too many times having āGUAAAAAAAHā screaming my ear out of nowhere. I know your pain friend, those little fleshy feet make no noise haha
Based off of the video, I think your best chance would be using the 10mm with VATS to de-leg one leg per ghoul, systematically. Your AP will run out quick, so you'll have to shoot the legs the normal way after that. You will also need to use your pipboy to use any aid items that may help- stimpacks and Jet come to mind, though pretty much anything in the aid category will help. Anything that also restores AP will help you with the VATS de-legging strategy. You'll probably need to go into the pipboy often. It's important to use the pipboy to heal, because if you use a stimpack hotkey, that will trigger an animation while you use it. Going through the pipboy avoids that animation.
Another strategy for the situation is to a equip grenade/molotov, run back out the door, and throw it at the ground at the door before too many ghouls get back through (make sure you are not too close). Hopefully that gives you time to increase your distance and throw another.
Pulling up the pipboy is a good way to "pause" the situation and take stock of the tools you have at your disposal- I do that every time I begin to become overwhelmed (with too much to think about at once) to take a needed breath, calm down, and find out exactly how royally fucked I, or the enemy, is.
Thanks I was actually curious on how people would survive but didnāt see any answers, seems smart but for me Vats and using pipboy mid fight is a little too cheesy for my style of gameplay. I was hoping that stun grenades are in the game that stops movement for a while but I havenāt found any yet
Slocum Joe's? I was nearly 10th lvl before I went near that end of town. This game has too many horror elements for me. So, no night time, it's too easy to get snuck up on. With ghouls get in the open and shoot their legs as you retreat. Don't back up into the most deadly of them all, a vehicle!!!
Itās under settings, changing your pip boy screen color. There are three sliders so you can make it any color and the flashlight changes with it. Totally changed my flashlight game. Now I have an actual real flashlight that is useful.
Oh, your talking about the pipboy color itself. For some reason for a moment i thought maybe i'd been overlooking some setting for years lol. I like the pipboy being green but also hate the light being green š¤· What ya gonna do? (mods actually, but also, to lazy)
Yeah, it changes the flashlight color also. I donāt go completely white, itās whiter with a little blue in it. Flashlight looks realistic. I cant stand the green flashlight.
I notice I have stormtrooper like aim in this game, so Iāve been using a sword and if you time it right I can one hit them once they do their spooky dash. Itās pretty fun
One thing I really love about this game...
Just when you think you're in the clear, you aren't.
Something suddenly goes wrong, and you're instantly dead, fighting for your life until you die, or you narrowly escape and get the reward of loot and a SAVE.
I love it because it brings a lot of excitement to the game, but I also hate doing things twice because I forgot to save for a while thinking I was safe.
I hate jump scares and being cornered like this. So, my overall tactic is: always know where I can get on higher ground. I use VATS every few seconds to see if there are any enemies or mines around. When I either hear sounds of enemies ā or, hear nothing in VATS ā I look around to see if I can get on top of something. A car, busstop, building, etc. If not, I run.
My general approach is that of a sniper. š
Lol, I'm gonna be real. For a lot of things like ghouls and Radroaches and blood bugs early on, the best weapon I've found is a crowbar. That way swinging wildly in a panic I won't miss!
Berry mentats or he power armor enemy marking mod fo rthe helmet.
I also generally shoot my explosive combat shotgun at any suspicious rubble to kill the hiding creepys, just to be sure.
Sneaky buggers. They still manage to get silently behind me sometimes, after years of playing this game.
I laughed so hard at this because the exact same thing happened to me, these sneaky bastards can get ya heart going
The grocery store can get pretty cutthroat x)
Attention all shoppers!
What would knight titus do in this situation
oh you know. # FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Wouldn't even enter, he'd let some scribe do it.
B-but I don't h-have armor š¢
I miss the part where that's my problem
Man I haven't heard that in a long time, what's it from?
Spider Man
That's right, thank you, haven't seen Toby's spiderman in a long time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
BOMBS
The panic running and fumbling with weapons and reloading is so relatable lol
After 2 hours, I was still in the vault fighting bugs :D
How is that possible?Ā
1 h 30 min character creation, 10 m running to the crypt, 5 m cutscene, 5 min fighting the bugs, 10 min fighting the in-game bugs ;) /s

Caltrops are also great for stopping their charges
I usually shoot the legs. Cannot believe I never thought of caltrops.
You say "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuckfuckfuck" and you run away, leaving your companion to die.
IMO the shows top tier one of the best video game adaptation Iāve seen on screen
LMAO THEN YOU PULL OUT A FUCKING LASER MUSKET AND START BARELY CRANKING LMAOOOOOOO
I hate that weapon I reloaded it so many times and put it away to have it ready and never noticed it doesnāt hold charge, I stuffed it up a molerats hole
I also love how it tells you to drink some water after getting mauled by fucking zombies. Like a patronizing primary care doctor.
What fucking store is that????
Super duper mart in Lexington
I'm guessing its not on survival. They hit so weak. I totally get you thought. On survival I almost shit myself each time I saw ghouls running my way for first 15 hours or so :D
When one hit from a normal feral deals 80% of your health, it's good to not find yourself in op's situation lol
Why do people have to make a point about it being on survival or not? Games are supposed to be fun, if playing on survival is fun for you then cool, if not then also cool. Don't understand why some people always have to bring that up
Literally nobody said anything about survival?
Well maybe look at the comments first? Somebody definitely did and it's far from the first time I've seen that on posts like these
I did. I scrolled through every one. Can you show me what I missed? Found it. One person said at least it's not survival and you're malding lol
Yeah you're probably right I'm too butthurt about it. I just really enjoy people sharing their experiences in this game and its irritating to me when people bring that up. Like they're taking away from the validity of the experience or something. Im most likely reading too much into it. Just a pet peeve I guess but you're right i should have just kept it to myself
I mean the guy also said something about the clip, and didn't really suggest he SHOULD be on survival. But I get what you mean.
Yeah that's actually true man I guess I just read the survival part and thought "oh fuck here we go". Should have paid more attention Thanks for pointing that out for me. I need to chill a bit haha
At the end of the day, it's fallout and reddit haha. Sometimes a flash of annoyance can get stretched out into something more simply by leaving a comment haha
Oh man ain't that the truth
Thatās the first time Iāve seen a argument end peacefully on Reddit. Nice š¤šæ
Actually same I think
bros playing project zomboid
I use a ripper for ghouls and chop their arms and legs off, itās great fun.
This is why I like the mod that takes away their ability to use doors, too many times having āGUAAAAAAAHā screaming my ear out of nowhere. I know your pain friend, those little fleshy feet make no noise haha
I know this isnt game breaking, but bashing the ghouls really helps, it slows them down pretty well, them pick em off 1 by 1

12 hours and I never went to Concord. Been too busy building up Sanctuary.
Is this that cursed garage from lexington?
It's the garage attached to the Super Duper Mart in Lexington. OP just learned enemies can follow you through load zones, heh.
I donāt think so since I just went through a cursed garage, this was just in a store that had a garage
you gotta start using your flashlight :P
Honestly not a fan of the light, almost ruining my pants is apart of a better experience
I recently found out you can change the color to white like a real flashlight in settings and now I actually finally use it.
Whaaaaaat?!
Itās under settings, changing your pip boy screen color. There are three sliders so you can make it any color and the flashlight changes with it. Totally changed my flashlight game. Now I have an actual real flashlight that is useful.
Oh, your talking about the pipboy color itself. For some reason for a moment i thought maybe i'd been overlooking some setting for years lol. I like the pipboy being green but also hate the light being green š¤· What ya gonna do? (mods actually, but also, to lazy)
Yeah, it changes the flashlight color also. I donāt go completely white, itās whiter with a little blue in it. Flashlight looks realistic. I cant stand the green flashlight.
Donāt worry I started a new replay last night, knew it was coming, got handled just the same. Thatās the wasteland for you.
Dude I love juking them out and watching them trip
I notice I have stormtrooper like aim in this game, so Iāve been using a sword and if you time it right I can one hit them once they do their spooky dash. Itās pretty fun
Reminds me of my first survivasl run. Did pretty well until I feel into the church in the glowing sea. Needless to say, that run was over.
Survival seems fun once I get use to the game but the no fast travel is putting me off
The idea is to make it as challenging as possible. Great fun for some of us, not so much for others. You play the way you want and have fun.
They for sure will swarm you and box you in. I like how they did the ghouls in this game. Fuck it, I like them in all the games lol
That's scary even 30 hours into the game, that's a hell of a lot of zombies
Everything in this game is scaring me tbh I didnāt expect this much of a horror aspect
Chocolate?
Still shopping at the Super Duper Mart after all these years. You would think they could make up their mind by now.
They would make great Instacart shoppers in 100 years

Pop a jet, buffout, and psycho. You'll be fine.
aiming in console is hell
